It is shown that the PMD enhanced sampling approach in combination with force-field MD simulations of conformational transitions that require three or more collective variables (CVs) to describe the processes efficiently localizes the average transition path and simultaneously obtains the free-energy profile along the...

Benchmarking AI-generated structural ensembles of membrane proteins against physics-based modelling

It is demonstrated that BioEmu can generate plausible conformational ensembles for relatively large, six-and seven-pass membrane proteins, sampling rare states at a fraction of the computational cost of conventional MD simulations, suggesting that AI-based ensemble generation could provide an accessible approach for ex...

Breaking timescales with generative sampling of conformational transitions

Gen-COMPAS is introduced, a generative committor-guided path-sampling framework that reconstructs rare biomolecular transition pathways and reveals the underlying thermodynamics and kinetics without using predefined collective variables or brute-force sampling, at an acceptable computational cost.

Understanding the Dynamics of Mechanically Interlocked Molecular Systems via Metadynamics Simulations.

Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, display complex internal dynamics and reciprocal motions that are central to their use as artificial molecular machines. Revealing how these motions occur, the key interactions, and the rate-limiting steps determining their kinetics is essential for u...
